For long years, I was all that stood in between the Spoon River Public Library and the Puritans who wanted to eject the books they thought were “offensive” or “obscene” or “inappropriate” for children. As if keeping their children from reading or hearing about the dark isn’t precisely the thing that makes them run headlong towards it. I am gone now. Nobody is left tostop you. So have your purge. If you would bother to read some of those books, you’d find out what you’re going to reap.
